    You meet the love. In yours eyes you can see it!!! Thanks for share you work!!

  • Sorry I could not watch. It is just to sad..

    The bond between dog and human is something that can be felt in the very depth of your soul.

    If there is a god above then I have to believe that you, me, all, of us can be reunited with those who we love.

    All dogs do go to heaven.

  • What a wonderful tribute to Rookie. It's hard not to cry when watching it. It's so easy to see that Rookie absolutely loved and adored you. If there's a doggie heaven, then Rookie is surely there. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this video. Such a special dog.

  • What a wonderful dog....thanks for sharing

  • Superbe duo!!!une fusion, la magie de l'obr...

  • Beautiful bond between dog and handler. does anyone know the name/artist of this song? I just lost my guy 5 days ago and I thought this was a very fitting song.

  • RIP - Rookie. Du warst ein wundervoller Hund!!!

  • This is such a beautiful tribute. I cried through the whole video. I am so sorry for your loss Carolyn.

  • This was a beautiful tribute. I am so sorry Carolyn for your loss. I know how hard it is I lost my Golden 6 months ago to cancer. I wonder every day how will I make it through, I miss her dearly. Rookie is a special dog and you are a special person my thoughts are with you. It is comforting to know that Shannon has met Rookie at Rainbow Bridge and some day we will see them again. Rookie and Carolyn you are an inspiration for all of us.

  • You can see the love and joy in Rookie's eyes when he looks into her eyes. This dog was so sweet and a fabulously coordinated dancer as is Carolyn. Love like this never dies. I know how much he meant to you. I had Polio too and I have Beagles waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge . Blessings to you.

  • I just lost my baby and this song is so beautiful, the pain is so hard to bear. Once in a life time someone touches your heart in a way like no other and when that someone is gone there is no words to discribe the pain.

  • WOW !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Watching Rookie reminds me how much I love Goldens. They are truly a delight.  In the video, it's obvious he is having a ball. I would love to watch the training process!

  • Rest in peace Rookie. Your paw prints are on my heart forever

  • omg im almost crying!!

  • I had just heard of your loss Carolyn, I ahve been there before and know how hard it is to bid farewell to such a warm and loving presence. I want to thank you for sharing Rookie's life with us. He and my Buddha are waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge...

  • oooooo so spicial shows what love and life is all about

  • I have one of Rookies videos as my favorites because it makes me so happy to watch. I cried the whole time I watched this.

    Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make out lives whole.....

  • Carolyn. Rookie was such a beautiful dog. My heart goes out to you. His legacy lives on because I remember seeing him years ago and just recently came upon his video, where I saw you two dance, over and over again. I honestly believe, the love of a pet, no matter what kind, is the most beautiful of all loves.

  • This is a Wonderful tribute to Rookie, I cried thru the whole thing. I lost my Golden to Cancer also, 2 yrs. ago. I loved her so much, I would watch Rookie to cheer me up. May He & My Heidi Rest in Peace, & who knows, maybe Rookie will show Heidi how to Dance.

  • I got tears in my eyes now.

    That was a great tribute to both canine and owner.

  • Nothing sad here, I only see joy. Rookie led a fantastic life and brought happiness and revelation to many.

  • Rookie was amazing!

  • Rest in peace, Rookie you were a great dancing dog

  • rookie was and still is an amazing dog! he put a smile on everybodies face no doubt. i cant not imagine how hard it must have been for carolyn scott. you are my role model and if i could be half as good as you, well that would be amazing

  • Beautiful video and song. Teary eyed as I type this, there is nothing in the world as comforting as a canine companion. A dog is the only living creature that will love you more than it loves itself. The joy that a dog can give you is unbelievable. They are the ultimate friend.

  • Dear Carolyn,

    Rookie is exquisite. The great love and bond between you two is extraordinary. The joy you both brought so many people is remarkable and I can only imagine the depths of your loss now.

    My deepest sympathy,

    Colleen

  • I loved when they did "Grease"

  • How sad and so amazing....

  • Fantastic dog!!

    I love dog dancing..

    and Rookie was a great dog!

  • this was so sad

    :(

    God bless you Rookie and rest in peace :)

  • What joy to have a soul mate like Rookie and my Hershey. Hershey was my 13 1/2 year old Lab Mix. She died of cancer, Feb 2008. She saw me through two bouts of breast cancer, with love and understanding like no one else could. When I lost her last year, I felt like I had lost a part of my heart. I'll always love her, just as Carolyn will always love Rookie! They're both waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for us. What a beautiful thought!

  • I only recently knew that Rookie had left this world and even only knowing him by videos I felt a big loss had happened.

    Only few people know what is to lose that special companion and working friend.

    But for sure he will always be remember across the world by his immense joy and working skills.

  • An amazingly beautiful video. Thank you so much for this opportunity to celebrate Rookie's whole life. And it was nice to see his dance steps slowed down so I could appreciate how they were done.

  • He was such a beautiful dog, it's so sad to think the world lost another great one. I've also watched "You're the one that I want" dozens of times. I lost my black Lab in Feb08 to a sudden illness, taken ill and gone in three days, we didn't know how we would cope, but we have two babies now, both black Labby girls. You can't replace them but you crave their loving presence like a drug, We couldn't stay dogless for long. Hugs to you Carolyn and love to you Rookie old pal.

  • Rookie is such a gorgeous dog! He looks like he was having so much fun too. The bond you had with him must have been something special - and it shows! I often watch videos of Rookie for inspiration in training my own dogs (Golden and GSD).

    :) Rest in Peace, Rookie. And thank you for the inspiration!

  • That was beautiful. What an amazing canine individual! Dance on, Rookie!

  • i'm so sorry to hear you lost rookie. please know our thoughts and prayers are with you!

    you made such a great team. and touched the lives of many people. i can say i am one of them. i found you after i found the guy in england. thanks for sharing your love for him with us!

  • I am so sorry for your loss. I have seen a few videos of you and Rookie and they are unforgetable. He was happy with you and enjoyed what he did. I lost my best friend Feather about the same time you lost Rookie. They will always be in our hearts and will be waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge.

  • dear carolyn,

    I'm very sorry for your loss. I have a german retriever-lab mix Bella. I know how devastated when she passes. I don't know what you must be going through and I hope you recover. Thanks for showing him off to all of us.

  • thank you for sharing your rookie with so much fans, my doggie died one month ago he was 13 and a half years old, i do really miss him

  • To Carolyn, I just saw this great Tribute Video of you and Rookie and I am so sad that you lost your sweet Rookie. I have watched your video's all the time of how great the two of you are and how Rookie is so amazing. I cried so much watching this and the song goes so well to such a wonderful tribute to the great performances and how much love was between the two of you. Our Golden is 3 years old and she gives us such love as we give her.

  • The love and joy that you two shared was inspirational. Your relationship redefined what was possible between me and my dog. Thank you, Carolyn.

  • This video is absolutely amazing. My gosh I cried my eyes out while watching it...tears of happiness at Rookie's greatness and tears of sadness for your loss. I know exactly what its like to lose one of these babies..I was there back in April of this year. This tribute blew me away...its absolutely amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this with me. I know Rookie is teaching some great tricks to my lazy pug today! Love from a fellow dog lover....allison

  • Dear Carolyn; I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand your sadness and grief. My dog just died last month. It's so hard to be left behind. But they are in a safe place now. Be strong.

  • Dear Carolyn,

    I admire your connection with Rookie. With tears in my eyes I watched this video. How much do you have to miss him... So sad it is.

    I lost my own Golden Retriever, 1 year ago and miss him still very much. I wish you all the strenght you need...

  • R.I.P ROOKIE SOOOOO  SAD

  • Rookie looked so happy... I guess he gave that same happiness to everyone near him and even to us...

    Thank you both for that

  • Rookie looked so happy... I guess he gave that same happiness to everyone near him and even to us...

    Thank you for that

  • What a beautiful tribute for a wonderful dog! Every single time I go onto the Youtube site, I watch you and Rookie. Such a happy dog! Thank you so much for sharing him with us!!

  • I love this dog. Thank you Carolyn for sharing Rookie with us.

  • God bless you Rookie! I have had the honer to have two Goldens. The first one was a love,the second a character. I will always have a Golden in my life, no matter what. They are the warmest loving characters and the greatest personalities along with a big challenge. Rookie was awesome. Imagine what you can do with a little Golden Love.....

  • Today I watched the video of Grease for the very first time, and looked for some more information, and found out that Rookie has passed away recently. My thoughts and condolences are with Carolyn. Of course the video brought me to tears.

    A bug hug for Carolyn, and rest in Peace Rookie! Well done boy!

  • Rookie, you were so loved & will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts & love to Carolyn. You must have been so proud of you Goledn boy, he was wonderful & your love for each other shone out with every performance.

    Dance in peace at the bridge sweet Rookie. xxx

  • The world is less Golden without Rookie in it. I have been tearing up all day just thinking of the pain that the talented and giving Carolyn is going through. I will never forget Rookie. They were lucky to have each other and we were lucky that they shared the beauty and joy with us. I send my most heartfelt condolences to Carolyn and the rest of Rookie's family.

    Dance with the angels, Rookie.

  • It is hard to accept that this beautiful creature is no longer amongst us. Carolyn, you are a talented, giving woman. The love you shared jumps through the screen and will be with you all of your days. You were lucky to have shared Rookie's life (you were his life!) I send my most heartfelt condolences.

  • Rest In Peace Rookie, I hope you're having the time of your life dancing at the Rainbow Bridge!

    I'm sat here in tears, Rookie was amazing and such an inspiration, my condolences to you Carolyn on your loss xx

    Now I'm off to give my furbabies extra big hugs!

  • This is a beautiful tribute to Rookie and I send my prayers and thought to Carolyn on her loss. Rookie is with you Carolyn in your heart and memories. And remember anytime you want to visit with him, he is only a thought or dream away ... take care of yourself.

  • Beautiful!

  • I was sent this video several years again and saw such a beautiful relationship between the two of you. I was so amazed at the talent of Rookie and watched over and over with amazement. Then today, something brought me back again to this video. Rookie you are with my Cashu - Heidi and Lindsay take care of them for me and teach them your wonderful "dance" until we are all together again. My thought are with you Carolyn.

  • this is sooo sad i love dogs to death and hate that they have to die its very touching great song thank you rookie for bringing love joy and peace RIP

  • Thank you, Rookie, for bringing so much life and joy into our lives. We love you, Rookie. Rest in peace and joy.

  • this tribute was soo touching..I also lost a dog to cancer its sooo hard..this video hits home for me..RIP Rookie what a perfect song..

  • Carolyn's Connection with Rookie brings tears to my eyes every time I see one of their performances. I've watched the "you're the one that I want" 500 times.

    I lost the "love of my life", my Eskie Nikki Churchill, 2 months ago, had to put her down, at the age of 15, so I know there are NO words to help at this time. Not only was Carolyn's life enriched because of Rookie, but so were the lives of his fans. I know he's romping in the grass at the Bridge with Nikki. Forever Loved, Forever Missed.

  • It is so sad.I have watched this film crying. Rookie will always be in my heart.He moved me so much. Carolyn, let me give you a big hug. Rest in peace, Rookie.

  • Watching this, knowing Carolyn lost her Rookie this week made me cry and cry. My heart goes out to Carolyn - Thank you for sharing Rookie with all of us.

  • GodSpeed Rookie. You were and still are an inspiration to us all. Our thoughts and Prayers go out to Carolyn in her time of sadness.

    Hugs..

  • I am just so sorry about the passing of Rookie. I have tears in my eyes watching the tribute. I want to thank the both of you for the inspiration you have given to me and the world and for sharing your wonderful relationship with us. You both are a blessing!

  • Rockie a conquis mon coeur et celui de milliers de gens. C'est un chien inoubliable.

    My heart is with you too Carolyn.

  • My husband and I both will forever remember having the special privilege of seeing Carolyn & Rookie perform "You're the One That I Want" from Grease years ago in Memphis TN @ St Jude's Showcase of Dogs-we saw THE best the 1st time to see a freestyle performance-Our hearfelt condolences to you on helping Rookie over to the Rainbow Bridge-God Bless you both!

  • This was beautiful...I'm in tears. My deepest sympathy to Carolyn, she and Rookie were one and I'm sure the loss has left her devastated.

  • Carolyn

    Our candle is lit here for Rookies. Look for his star.

    Cyndi and all the folks from Golden Rescue South Florida

  • Rookie lost his battle with cancer July 14, 2008. A very very sad day. Carolyn & Rookie touched all of our hearts and indeed together they changed the world. Rest in peace Rookie.

  • @musicaldogsport Against the cancer, nobody can make anything. The fight is lost almost always beforehand. We know all the end regrettably.

    RIP Rookie !!

  • I just heard that Rookie went to the Rainbow Bridge today. The world has lost a great freestyle team. Thoughts are with Carolyn at this sad time.

  • This was a wonderful tribute. As someone who is about to lose a much loved Golden Retriever and has lost in the past, I understand some of what you must be experiencing.

  • Carolyn Scott brought Rookie to the "Rainbow Bridge" today. We will all miss him, his joyful spirit and talent. Our condolences from Rescue a Golden of Arizona.

  • Sweet Rookie was brought to the "Rainbow Bridge" today. We will miss this wonderful, special dog! Our sympathies and condolences from Rescue A Golden of Arizona.

  • Beautiful job! The clips of Carolyn and Rookie with the song choice were perfect.

  • What a gift! What a bond! What a team! The world has been blessed by your preformances.

    Thank you..

  • Carolyn I am so sadden by your loss. The entire canine world has lost a world class communicator. My heart is with you.

    Auntie Ree'

  • An amazing bond..and amazing partnership...yeah it made me cry too. Wish they lived as long as humans.

  • So grateful to have found this video, been searching for Rookie dances as Youtube has been blocking most of our favorite videos.

    Thank you Carolyn & Rookie for this loving magic. Does anyone know how Rookie is this June?

  • I enjoy watching canine freestyle anyway but Rookie is amazing. He obviously loves what he's doing and a lot of time, patience and love has gone into training him. Thankyou for posting this.

  • Wonderful tribute and video. God Bless them both!!

  • My god he is amazing. Hats off :)

  • AWESOME!!!!

  • This was one of the most touching things I have seen in a very long time. You just fall in love with this dog and will remember this for the rest of my life. Thank you!

  • WOW! What an awesome tribute and summary to sweet Rookie's life! **Keep on dancin' sweet boy! Keep on dancin!!**

  • Dearest Rookie-I am sending you VERY belated Birthday wishes. But, I know you'd understand why I haven't been online much and visiting your videos that I love-I lost my "heartdog" on Jan 31st to cancer(HSA).

    But, as I'm now back online-I just HAD to come and check on my very favorite dog that I've never met(and his person...:).

    Much love and Blessings to you both.

  • Awwe.... Im Drowning In Tears Right Now.... That Dog Is The Best Thing... It Is Usually The Only Thing That Can Make Me Smile Anymore...I Love Him To Pieces!!! :)

  • Pure Golden Devotion!

    Violet2048

  • Thank you so much for making this available to so many..My daughter had a golden that passed a year ago at the age of 14/15. She and your guy look like they could have been litter mates. She was a beautiful, gentle spirit that will always be remembered by the gifts she brought into our lives....again thank you for sharing your gift.. this touches my heart deeply..

  • LOVE THIS CLIP...

    what is the name of this song?

  • Sweet Dog...

    what is the song call?

  • Rookie & Carolyn, you're both just beautiful & wonderful! xo :)

  • I have never seen Rookie before until a friend of mine sent me a You Tube clip of the Grease performance and then I watched this clip and cried.

    I am actually speechless but the one thing that comes to mind is that all animals deserve this much love and devotion. That is all they want and we get so much in return.

    Happy Belated Birthday Rookie!

  • Hi Dogfriends all over the World. Today I must say "Goodby my Dear" to my 14 Years old German Shepherd (Bessi). Between my Tears and Crying Attacks, I found this Video. Very great and helpfull in my sadness!! Could please anybody tell me who is the Women, singing the Song? I wanna make a Powerpoint Presentation from Bessi and this Song touch my Heart. Lovely Greets from Good Old Germany

  • Sorry for the loss of your dog. The name of the song is 'I Will Remember You' by Amy Grant.

  • I just watched this and am sitting in tears. It is a wonderful tribute. I wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss of Bessi. She'll be watching over you from the Rainbow Bridge.

  • The singer is Amy Grant. Sorry about your dog, Bessi.

  • Dear Stuka1963, The song is "I Will Remember You" by Amy Grant. I, too, just lost my 12 year old GSD to heart cancer on 21 Feb. The song is wonderful for remembering my Dixie. I don't think I will be able to live without a GSD, even though I have many other dogs. Where are you in Germany? I lived in Frankfurt for two years (88-90) and am so mad that I didn't visit Rottweil because Rottweilers are now my favorite breed (along with GSD). Be strong.

  • hi stuka - long live Bessi. i feel your pain, we lost our loving golden, Maggie, almost 2 years ago and i swear i still hear her "click-click" nails on our wood floors. we miss her dearly. she looked JUST like Rookie and was bright and active like he is, so this video was lovely to watch. soon we will be welcoming a new Golden in our lives and the circle will begin again. the artist who sang the song is Amy Grant and the song is called "I Will Remember You." take care and grieve to heal.

  • From Californi, USA, I'm so sorry. I lost my Cocker Spaniel of 21 years and cried for a week. I had her longer than my children and that was 15 years ago. I still miss her but how I have a 3 year old Golden Retriever and a 2 year old Rottweiler. Now they're my kids too. Keep your heart open for another puppy, even though none can take Bessi's place, you'll find room for more love. Violet2048

  • Brovo to Rookie and his dance partner. Fabulous show. My heart is overwhelmed by the look on his face. His true beauty is just being from the time he was a pup to his present age he is and knows he was cared and loved for and the time spent with Rookie is priceless. Thanks for the dances and the smiles and the warmth that you given this magnificient Canine. There is no comparison to this love match, animal to human and human to animal. Bless you both.

  • can never get enough of seeing the two of you together. you two have made my life richer.

    thank you.

  • Carolyn,

    I can't tell you how many times I've watched the videos of you and Rookie, over and over again. My heart literally melts and I feel such waves of happiness over and over again - the love, trust, closeness and friendship is so apparent. Your dances with Rookie are emotion captured in movement. Please give Rookie a big hug for a fan, and I send you my thanks and a big hug for sharing your love in such a generous way- both with Rookie and with us here in cypberspace.

  • Best dog performance I have ever seen. Congratulations to Carolyn.

    Anne M. Joe

  • A terrific tribute to a beautiful team. Many thanks for sharing your special bond with all of us. That dog runs a string of lights aroud your heart.

  • This video brought me to tears. What a beautiful bond. Pure love between the two and that love will always be in their hearts.....

  • What a gorgeous dog, you can see his sprit in his face :)

    I found these vids as Im thinking of getting a golden retriever, as I lost my 20 year old little dog this year. Im sure she lasted to such an old age out of pure love for her family, and us loving her. Im sure Rookie will do the same. Good luck to both of you, and thank you for sharing.

  • OMG... Thank you so very much for sharing a small portion of what is obviously a strong bond between the pair of you. Very rarely can you find this kind of love and devotion as shown in your performances. I too was moved to tears, watching the life you shared with the public. Thank you again for your hard work and dedication to your sport.

  • Happy belated birthday, beautiful Rookie!

  • How old is Rookie now?......He is an amazing dog!....

  • what an incredible dog and trainer, i wish you both the best in retirement :)

  • Happy birthday Rookie! What a great dog! You've both brought so many smiles with these videos. Dance on precious one!

  • Happy birthday Rookie!! What a great dog and owner. You've brought so many smiles with these videos. Dance on forever precious one!

  • I have tears in my eyes watching this. I've been a fan since someone linked me to the infamous Grease routine which inspired me to start teaching one of my own dogs some tricks.

    Rookie is an amazing and beautiful dog!

  • This really touches our hearts, thank you for being such a special duet, I loved reading the additional information on the linked site, the insight for all your work, love and devotion will be with all of us.

  • Carolyn, it's wonderful to hear that Rookie and you are in good spirits. Hugs and kisses to you and Rookie! You are both well loved!

  • Rookie personifies the heart and spirit of a true CHAMPION. I have always watched your videos with nothing but a smile on my face, who can help but smile watching the two of you having such fun together. Today I watch this one with a small smile and with tears. My own Bossco was a Golden R Black lab mix. Looking like a very oversized Flat coat. Boss too had that spark, of brains, love and joy, he was a Therapy Dog and I lost him to cancer to at 14.

  • Thank you all for your messages of support and prayers through the last few months. Each message has brought me comfort and a feeling that I am not alone. Carolyn Scott

  • Rookie had some health issues surface this year. Despite the overwhelming odds he has triumphed over each with his amazing attitude for life. The most important lesson he has taught me has been to live in the moment as he does. Without this lesson my days would have been much darker filled with worry and fear. Instead I have been able to focus and enjoy every single moment we have together to the fullest. Carolyn Scott

  • Carolyn,

    There are no words I can say to express my feelings.Your dedication and the inter-mingled spirit that you and Rookie share is overwhelming.I salute you both,pure talent and unconditional love.We have a US Golden, born in Denmark,just 7 years,Oscar and he could be Rookie's brother,but only in looks. Our previous Golden Oscar lived to the ripe old age of 16. We love them. Goldens Rule!

    Thank you so much,please pass on a woof and love from Oscar to Rookie.

    Peace, Love

    Derek and family.

  • Carolyn.. We met at your seminar in Saratoga NY area. I have wonderful pics and memories of that weekend with those wonderful folk and their doggies.

    Please keep that upbeat attitude of yours and know that many love you and Rookie in the Northeast.!!! Hugs, Judy (with the Japanese Chin)

  • Today's Rookie's 15th birthday!  We will be celebrating all day and hope you will join the party. : )

  • The devotion that the two of you have for each other is amazing. This is beautiful. My heart goes out to both of you. Just wonderful. He is a beautiful dog.

  • My Dal is 13 years old this month. The puppy pics make me wish I had more of her when she was young. I had no idea how much a part of life she would be. Mama Dog is old now

    What you do with Rookie is amazing... And I love it!

  • Carolyn and Rookie you have touched me in a way that only a Golden and his owner would know.The love and respect you have for each other is beyond belief. Shown by the tears of pure joy streaming down my cheeks as I watched the tribute to Rookie. I once read or heard that Dog spelled backwards spells GOD.If this is true Rookie has earned his title. Carolyn and Rookie you have, for a short time ,truely made this a better world.

  • I just can't stop watching their videos... They're great. Hope Rookie'll get fine soon.

  • This is the best tribute I have viewed. What a great team. Such mutual respect, love and loyalty that you can truly see.

    Have a great retirment Scout, you deserve it.

  • So beautiful to see the love between those 2! A comment below says that Carolyn had posted that Rookie was diagnosed with a malignat tumor. Any news? After reading this, I was in tears for the rest of the video... The song is so well chosen! Well done! May he be healthy for a long time more! Or, if worse comes to worse, may he not suffer for too long! We'll think about you, Rookie!

  • What an awesome team they had made! Rookie & Carolyn are in my thoughts & prayers!

  • Having hosted Carolyn in a workshop at our area kennel club this weekend, and getting to know her and learn of Rookie's illness, made me seek this video out. What an amazing dog. Carolyn you and Rookie will be in our deepest prayers and thoughts as you go thru this time together. Thanks for a great workshop and introduction to Freestyle. You are an amazing lady!

    I can't watch this without weeping.  Just lost my 13 year old yellow lab Hannah.

  • Awesome video, so well done, thanks so much for sharing! What a duo! Had me in tears too. lol

  • 9/27/2007 Carolyn posted to a group that Rookie was just diagnosed with an aggressive malignat tumor. Please keep him and Carolyn and all of us who have fallen in love with Rookie by watching videos in your prayers.

  • This as with all of Carolyn and Rookie videos just makes me cry so hard..you can just see the love between the two of them. I am so sad to read of Rookies illness.

  • An amazing partnership - mutual love and respect shine through in every performance! Thank you for the joy!!!

  • Thank you Caroline and Rookie!  You've brought a lot of happiness into this world.

  • i love this vid... i remember seeing them on pet star... they are so awesome, i love dogs so much, i always say that of the last 100 people i've met, i liked about 4 or 5... of the last 100 dogs i've met, i think i liked every one of them

  • I feel the same way Victoria5653. I have two goldens and I would much rather talk to them than any person I know.

    I am glad I wasn't the only one crying.

  • Sa sweet. What a wonderful dog! He was beautiful and very inteligent. This is the best team I have ever seen. What more can I say ... I was cried when I whatched this video. :*
